seeing things?

[SilverNightShade]

Quite frequently now i will see something move out of the corner of my eye. It usually appears as just a black area that speeds away and when i look at it it's gone. I see them all over my rom, floors, in front of my bed, near the ceiling. It's driving me nuts not know what they are and because the house has bugs, it freaks me out, tho they never are bugs.

What might these be?

I don't know. I was at my sister's house a few weeks ago and I could of sworn I had seen a grey like shadow in the corner. It looked like it zoomed by really quick. I think it might of been my imagination but I am not certainly sure. I was pretty sleepy, though, I have heard of people on here with similar experiences.....Maybe it was some kind of spirit or entity. Something..Your guess is just as good as mine. Maybe you should try an internet search and see what comes up?

Could be something out of the norm, astral beings or demintional(sp) travelers, even spirits, if it appeals to your interest I would research it. Being dark figures, I'd be careful with contact, not neccisarily that they are malevolent, but that chance is there all the same. I hope they make themselves known, if thats what they trully are.:)

i'd like to know wht they are,m and i'd really love to research, but how would i go about doing that seeing it it's just a flas oh black movement?

What might these be?wow. I see the exact same thing. Just saw one yesterday skittering across my desk at work. I don't see them often, but I do see them...just little dark grey shadows, usually near the floor or a surface....

oddly enough, when I saw the one yesterday, I discovered a gift from an unknown source in my desk drawer....a little bottle of Aveda Blue aromatherapy oil. Nobody claimed it, and I didn't buy it....

Gaia21 and I firmly believe the shadows I see are dark fairies. (dark as in....just dark...like brownies or little mischevious fairies..dark in color...not dark bad.)

The explanation my Mum gave me is that it's the spirits of family on the otherside just checking in that we're ok. They only want a quick peek, which is why they don't stick around long enough to be seen properly.

There's a scientific explanation for this as well, the eye has rods and cones which convert light into electrical impulses. I can't remember which are which but some point forwards and some are more fanned out, they deal with different things - light and dark and colours. This happens when one of them mis-computes the information. A glitch in the matrix if you like.

I know what you're talking about....I've always reffered to them as nightflyers...as that is ussually when I see them. Although they have never directly harmed me they do carry a very negative cold energy with them....I don't like that. :awwman:

What it could be - and I'm not saying that the more fantastic explanations are necessarily wrong - are "floaters", which are little bits of tissue that float in the fluid in your eye, casting blurry shadows on your retina. When you shift your eyes, the fluid swirls, pushing them out of the way. They're completely harmless and natural.

[*Rain*]

It's not like floaters though, it's more distant, there's a definite difference. I know i've suddenly swung round thinking i've seen something and it's just been a bit of hair that i've seen out the corner of my eye, but sometimes there just isn't a logical explanation.

Sleet - you've been spending too much time in that sceptical thread.:lol:

I'm a pagan research scientist. Sooner or later I won't be able to maintain the self-contradiction and I'll collapse in on myself, taking half the building with me. ;)

I found this opthalmological advice:
http://www.kellogg.umich.edu/patientcare/conditions/floaters.html (http://www.kellogg.umich.edu/patientcare/conditions/floaters.html)


I went to advanced search and typed in "only these words"
"From the corner of his eye" and got a few good topics, after typing in "without"- "opthalmology"

Of course Dean Koontz's book by that title.

and this about the Kabballa and its being referenced in a couple of books here:

Quote from above link “Despite Alex-Li’s disaffection, Adam’s version of the spiritual journey influences Alex-Li’s thinking. His wacky trajectory shoots him toward a very hip rabbi, Kaddish in the synagogue, and the hint that, out of the corner of his eye, he has been noticing the wondrous all the time.”

( Italics mine.)

Since the purpose of the peripheral vision is to warn us of what may be coming from other than in front of our faces, what is seen from "the corner of one's eye" has long been noted in mysticism as a warning of something, or a warning that something is there just out of clear sight...

You may want to do a search of your own in this way. I didn't have time to look at the hundreds of links that came up. :hehehehe:

As for me, I try to see what is there, but if a spirit won't come out and...well..."face me like a man!!!" LOL, I banish it. Period. Don't like skulkers myself.:eyez:

Yet I think they have a lot in common and compliment one another quite well.
Just because science finds a justifiable "worldly" explanation for things, does not mean that there is not an equally valid "otherworldly" one. I think these compliment one another rather than negate one another. A whole view of life doesn't need too many either/ors.:hehehehe:


Just one more way to see the phrase "as above so below."
Every time I look into a microscope, I think about that too...

"He drew a circle to shut me out
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But love and I had the wit to win.
We drew a circle that shut him in. "**

Think of the scientist as "He"
Use "Fate" in place of "love."

And there you have my point of view.

Okay gonna post now and bring back the reference and author in a bit. That's one I memorized long ago....:whistle:
Okay HERE:

well i can say they aren't loved ones, because i'm clairesentience and i feel the loved ones who hover round. These things give off like no energy so it's gotta be something tiny. I was thinking brownies or michevious faeries, but i don't know which in specifc. they are small, like the length of my hand.

I thank all of you for your imput. You all had some interesting things to say.
